Yeah they should be worried, especially with all that crap they make over there and ship to the U.S. It only contains lead and who knows what else, and then there's their tainted milk deal.

All the worries about lead and tainted milk don't cause the "englightened" European or Australians to hesitate for one second to buy what we choose not to.

1) Pelosi is a huge China-criticizer herself. Bush's Paulson was the one happy with the status quo of economic relationsh with China. I for one think the whole think was a 2 way street. The addict and the dealer share responsibility.
2) Pelosi did all the spending? The government growth in spending was largely military during the last 8 years, which I'm sure wasn't due to Pelosi. Overspending has been a bipartisan responsiblity for many years now. Both Repubs and Dems have both presided over massive growth in the gov't. Clinton was the last pres to not have deficits.

So what should China do to "share responsibility". Pay us restitution for "a addict recovery program"? Good luck with that.

way to avoid the point. Both parties overspent! China bought treasuries so that we could continue spending, on an individual and government basis, more than we could afford. I don't see how that's all China's fault and how China owes us anything. They bought what we sold them and we bought what they sold us.
